Hi all, Currently planning an overland trip to Sweden in April 2021 (covid permitting!). Will be out there for about 3 weeks with Land Rover and expedition trailer. Mostly plan to stay off the beaten track. Anyone else travelled through Scandinavia around April time. Especially keen to hear...

Hey all, I know this isn't really the kind of forum where I will get much interest but thought I'd give it a shot anyway. Selling my campervan as we have decided to go back to an expedition trailer. The campervan is convenient but not as much fun as a tent. Its for sale for £3,750 or nearest...

After some ideas for tea, coffee, sugar carrier/holders. Currently I use some round tins which I keep in an old Powertraveller pouch. Anyone got any better ways of carrying all 3 together? In a neat compact package? OLO www.onelifeoverland.com //probably typed on mobile so please excuse typos!

Over the years have seen the odd one of these in the house and never really got around to ID'ing. They don't seem to move much and then when they do they're gone. What are they? OLO www.onelifeoverland.com //probably typed on mobile so please excuse typos!

Hi ya'll, As per title really. I'm in the market for a new bivi bag, ideally I'd like it to have some sort of waterproof zipper (or have large enough entry to make access easy whilst sat underneath a tarp), be light, packs down small and spacious. I don't want anything heavy or with hoops...

Anyone want to take a stab? I thought one of the Milkcaps but now I've looked through a couple of books I'm doubting myself. Seen in a predominantly ash/beech/hazel wood. OLO www.onelifeoverland.com

Hi guys, Random one this time. I occasionally have to do some night shifts in work and often take the camper and sleep in the car park during the day. However, due to large rock in the Lakes being disguised as a tuft of grass it's out of action. So am looking for two trees in Cheltenham where I...

Hey, I recently snapped my rod in The Lakes - cheap lixada telescopic thing I found on Amazon but I enjoy a spot of fishing when I'm travelling about if I see an opportunity. So on my return home I bought a compact Rigged and Ready carbon rod and a Daiwa E 3000C Spinning reel. However, I...

Only place i can find these at mo is on Amazon and Ebay direct from Japan with a lead time of nearly a month. Anyone know of a UK outlet or a comparable alternative but the 28mm thread must fit a Sawyer (so no Platypus recommendations please as they use a 28mm proprietry thread). OLO...

Just had to snap this. I don't think I've ever seen one quite as big as this and the picture don't really do it justice either. I'd say around the tree it is probably 2ft from one side to other. I think its one of the Ganoderma's but happy to be told different. Maybe Fomes Fomentarius? OLO...

Anyone know where I can get the metal clips from for the Zebra Billy's? OLO www.onelifeoverland.com

Hi all, Looking at lightweight tent options. The two I have in mind are the DD Superlight XL Pyramid Tent and the Lanshan 2. I'm leaning more towards the DD purely because I don't want to carry a second pole and it requires 2 for setup. I'm specifically looking at the XL version of the DD...

Made by my own fine hand today. A slightly refined attempt based on the much larger version I made some time back. OLO www.onelifeoverland.com

Hey all, Cross-posting this (also in SoP). The river Rhymney is on my doorstep but I know nothing about it. I did just find this: http://rainchasers.com/river/rhymney/ll ... ch-cardiff Which is the section I would be interested in and I think Grade 2 in my Inflatable canoe is plenty for...

Tried on once. Doesn't fit my hammock so never used. £20 posted. OLO www.onelifeoverland.com

Hi all, Am looking for a rucksack in the region of 40-55 litres with a decent covering of MOLLE front and top but also has the side zips to accommodate UK mil rocket pouches. In an ideal world it would be the Sabre SF45 but the front and top would have MOLLE attachments. Is there anything...

I am just on the verge of purchasing a Sevylor Ottawa inflatable canoe. Does anyone else have one of these? Reviews seem very good for this particular model. Also, in terms of paddling on inland waterways, canals, rivers, lakes in Wales (and occasionally England and Scotland too). What is the...

Bought a wild flower pack off Amazon and these bad boys have sprouted up. Someone tell me they are some innocent plant and not what I think they could be!![emoji377][emoji377][emoji377] OLO www.onelifeoverland.com

Any able to identify this cool little guy. Casually spotted wandering along the decking earlier today. Very active and pretty swift mover too. OLO www.onelifeoverland.com

So everyone says not to pick CoW from a Yew because of the risk of transfer of the very poisonous Taxines from tree to fungi. And frankly I am not about to take a gamble, especially as I've already had a few heart attacks! Now I have several books on fungi and one go to book called Edible...
